Rendered between 1935 and 1942 as part of the historic Index of American Design, Robert Clark's 'Sewing Bird' is a masterclass in precision and material recording. This classical depiction captures a 19th-century brass sewing clamp, or 'sewing bird,' with meticulous draftsmanship that elevates an everyday utilitarian object into a sculptural monument. Clark's rendering highlights the intricate textures of the cast metal and the functional elegance of early American industrial craft. Presented with a refined, gallery-ready presentation, each print features a consistent clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping, preserving the archival integrity of the original plate for contemporary architectural spaces.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
